THE POPE'S ATTITUDE.
CRITICISM BY FRANCE. London Times and Sydney Sun Services.) PARIS, June 25. Le Temps in a leader on the Pope's interview thinks that Catholics will' be disappointed, and asks by what subtlety the Pontifical ' party assimilates the Germans' threatened famine with the twelve hundred innocent victims brutally sent to the bottom of the sea bj' the Kaiser's submarine. TJiie paper adds : "Interests other than religious admittedly dictated the Pope's attitude in regard to Italian intervention." The newspaper Debats says : "Those revering the Chief of the Church v will be j astonished at a neutrality which apparently does not distinguish between i the victims of injustice and those comj mitting it." j The' Rome paper Osservatore points out that the opinions of the Holy Sec must be judged b- public official "documents, not by private publications, ' which may contain various inexactii tudes. . I The Italian public regard this explanation as^ ■unsa-iisfactory, especially as the inexactitudes are not snecified, and are astonished at the Pope allowing the .interview after all the difficulties arising from the Wiegand case.
